There’s a saying in police work. There’s a saying in crisis management that the first three reports from the scene are generally wrong. Did you know that? It is absolutely the case that there may be different interpretations or different. parts of a scenario were remembered differently by different people. The problem is that not only are all of these narratives remarkably similar to each other but they’re all inconsistent with the evidence in the exact same ways. You could weave whatever thread you want through this. You could say that Lee Harvey Oswald was involved. But he wasn’t here. The Laquan McDonald case was not a cover-up. The officers say that they saw the victim lunge. Other officers say that Laquan McDonald was behaving in a threatening manner. They lied. They lied from day one. They lied about something of fundamental human importance. There are certain things that were put in the reports that may not appear in all the evidence. I would certainly acknowledge that. There’s always an effort to, you know, make the case as good as it can be going forward to trial. And I know that the reports were drafted and reviewed by the command staff. It was really the pattern and practice of. Of the police department. The investigation involved, arguably, the destruction of evidence as in the. The case of the Burger King, the falsification of reports by multiple officers, the intimidation of witnesses, and the falsification of their stories. And then, the findings go to the State’s Attorney’s office. Being, uh, Cook County State’s Attorney, this is the second-largest office in the nation, so it’s. it’s quite a. a big job. The number one goal for a State’s Attorney, as a prosecutor, either here or anywhere in the country, is public safety. It’s not easy. Right now, police are under attack and I think right now, probably the most difficult job you can have is to be a police officer. And so, police officer shootings have to be handled differently, because they’re police officers and it’s not the same as one gangbanger shooting another. It’ll never be. Here’s the other reality: It’s extremely hard to convict police officers.
